405. Tottenham 4
Lao Lei decided to wait and talk about it. Wen Sheng wanted to score, but he still wanted to score.
Lao Lei made some adjustments to the tactics in the second half. He asked the players to play more crosses to find Adebayo. In the first half, Lennon and Bale tried hard to make trouble on the wing. The facts proved that this was really not a good choice. The previous cut in the bottom did not work at all, and the ball was frequently intercepted by Crystal Palace. Lao Lei believed that the team did not make full use of Adebayo's point.
So Wensheng began to see his opponents frequently looking for Adebayo.
It’s true that Adebayo seems to have gained the ball. He has a height and has been tempered in the Premier League for many years. He has a good ability to get the ball with his back on his back. He is also a special loss in heading. Occasionally, he has created some opportunities for Tottenham.
In the 50th minute, Adebayo headed the ball and Van der Fate shot in the penalty area and hit the goal frame.
In the 54th minute, Adebayo was still making the ball. Bale tried a long shot outside the penalty area. Speroni made the ultimate attempt to ensure that the city gate was not lost.
Wen Sheng was very dissatisfied and scolded Benatia and McCarthy, "What are you doing? Keep a close eye on him! Keep a close eye on him! Don't be like a footer!"
Lao Lei was extremely upset when he saw the team keep missing opportunities.
"Hurry up! Score the goal!" Tottenham fans murmured in their hearts.
After being yelled by Wensheng, Benatia and McCarthy hated Adebayo and were so angry that they used their hands and feet together, which soon put the small flame of Adebayo out.
The game between the two sides fell silent again, and Crystal Palace still had an advantage in control.
More than ten minutes passed, and Crystal Palace finally got a good opportunity to counterattack. In the 68th minute, Stroman intercepted the ball in the backcourt and brought the ball back to Marjoer. Marjo passed the ball straight to De Bruere. De Bruere shook away Ector and rushed to the middle, running wildly. Just when Cabrer was about to grab it, De Bruere passed the ball to Mertens who quickly inserted it. Mertens intercepted the middle and Vardy succeeded in the offside, got a one-on-one opportunity and sent the ball into Tottenham goal steadily!
2:0!
This counterattack was the first counterattack made by Crystal Palace in the second half. Tottenham had several shots, but they almost scored. However, Crystal Palace scored a goal in just one counterattack and widened the score. It has to be said that sometimes this football really deserves to be damned.
Wen Sheng smiled satisfied and celebrating with the players on the bench.
Lao Lei's response was very interesting, and he replaced Van der Fate with Pavlyuchenko.
"Get the double towers?" Wen Sheng laughed in his heart, disagreed with Lao Lei's choice.
Tottenham was not capable of controlling the ball with one more player, but now he replaced Van der Fate, who could organize, which is equivalent to giving the organizational responsibility to Modric alone. Can Modric do this?!
As the saying goes, a hero has three helpers. Wensheng does not think that Modric can do a good job in the organization by relying solely on Parker's help.
Lao Lei never thought about controlling the ball at all. He is now anxious and just wants to score a goal!
Once there is a chance, Tottenham will definitely use a high ball to play Adebayo and Pavlyuchenko. Crystal Palace can handle this and it is easy for them to deal with it.
"What if I did it?!" Wensheng stood on the sidelines and even thoughts flew around, thinking about the countermeasures for Tottenham.
One of the problems with Tottenham is that it has encountered a scoundrel game like Crystal Palace. When Crystal Palace is sure, it controls the ball and slowly pushes the enemy back. When one person is missing, it plays all kinds of rogues and procrastinates, and throws away all the identity of a strong team.
The second is Tottenham's own problem. Their interception ability is not very strong in the midfield. It is difficult for them to grab the ball when Crystal Palace controls it. The heavy responsibility of interception is not to take on the midfield but to press on the defender.
It's still a good midfielder. Players like Parker are relatively versatile in all aspects, and Modric is even stronger than defense. When they meet opponents who are weaker than theirs in the Premier League, they may have the upper hand in control and can oppress their opponents, but when they meet stronger teams, they have a little difficulty. This season, they are playing against Manchester City's two players, Arsenal, and Chelsea, whether they win or lose, their possession rate is below.
Wen Sheng thought about it for a long time and the idea he came up with was similar to Lao Lei, so he still had to rely on the center to solve the problem.
If the center is not effective, it depends on the personal abilities of players such as Bale.
Time flies and stoppage time has arrived. Tottenham really has no choice but to kill Crystal Palace. In the stoppage time, they are exhausted and their attacks are weak and powerless. They probably accept their fate.
Lao Lei couldn't find a place to complain. Crystal Palace didn't make many fouls, but they had more fouls. Kanter blocked Bale's excellent opportunity, but he also paid a price. In nearly 70 minutes, who can't win the game even if he can't win the 11th against 10?!
"I'm not convinced!" Lao Lei was heartbroken when he was drinking with Wen Sheng after the game.
"Harry! I really don't understand, what are you not convinced?! When we have a large number of people, I scored the first goal, and when you have a large number of people, I still scored the goal! What are you not convinced?! How many absolute opportunities do you have?! You should be convinced!" Wen Sheng's rebuttal made Lao Lei have nothing to say.
"You really look like a champion!" Lao Lei suddenly sighed.
What does a championship look like?! You will hardly miss the game you should win, and you will occasionally try your best to take away a victory!
Wen Sheng disagreed. Even though Tottenham has future superstars Bale and Modric, these two are not as high as they did later. Tottenham's comprehensive strength is still far from Crystal.
Bale is currently still "stubborn" in the ball, and he does too little inward shooting, basically dribbling, rushing, crossing the opponent and shooting on the left side of the penalty area. After Boas arrives, he puts Bale in the position of the front midfielder. Bale gets unlimited fire, so Bale really shines, which means that Bale is still in the upgrade stage now.
As for Modric, he has a good overall view now and the long pass schedule needs to be improved.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace, starting from Wen Sheng leading the team to the Super League, Wen Sheng emphasized control and taught every player step by step. It is impossible to do that if Lao Lei is replaced, Lao Lei is best at making combinations and putting the players in a suitable position. He doesn't have the patience of Wen Sheng to train everyone.
The difference in coaching methods and the ability to work together create a gap in strength between the two teams.
Wen Sheng was very complacent in front of Lao Lei, and of course he still had to keep a low profile in terms of face. After all, Lao Lei gave him six points in two rounds, and it was really not good to put on a fork in front of him. It was almost done to say a few words, after all, he was a fellow villager!
Not only Lao Lei said that Crystal Palace has begun to take on the championship, but the media after the game have also praised Crystal Palace.
"For 70 minutes, Crystal Palace has one less player to fight, but they can still win Tottenham 2:0. Crystal Palace has the ability to win the championship!" The Times published a commentary article after the game.
"Crystal Palace showed their control throughout the game, and Tottenham did not feel like they could play football in front of them, and their offense was disorganized! Crystal Palace was very patient, while Tottenham felt too impatient! In the case of one more person, the failure to make reasonable use of every ball was the biggest reason for their loss!" Old Lei's son Jamie Redknapp did not stand on his father's side this time. In the column of the Post, he praised Crystal Palace and criticized his father without hesitation.
Of course, some people say that Crystal Palace tactics are a bit shameless, and they play as the top team too affordably, but this kind of statement is quickly drowned in the spit of Crystal Palace supporters.
Wen Sheng specially invited the whole team to have a dinner on the night after this game. He told the players that he saw a spirit of the team and a spirit of unity!
Yes, Wensheng is very pleased. After so long, the team has finally developed the character of a champion, and everyone can think about the team wholeheartedly.
"I have a dream! I want to lead you to the Premier League championship this season!" Wensheng was very moved to express his feelings to everyone during the dinner, "But I know it's not possible to rely on me alone! At most, I am a conductor. You are every member of the band. Under my baton, you can follow my rhythm and play a wonderful piece of music together!"
"None of us can do without each other. Only by uniting can we achieve success after success. Only in this way can we still take three points from White Hart Alley under extremely unfavorable conditions like today!"
